Hello,
I m not writing very often at this place because I still have to reconsider every second word when expressing myself in english. Still, I m a frequent but silent visitor,and really enjoy reading your stuff and regarding well crafted bows. Anyway...I may not be often here, but when I do, I want to show something ;).
This is a recently finished Yew-ELB, not yet a warbow but close to it. Its 74lbs@29", 72" long and weights 24oz.
Greetings from Germany

Very nice. Began traditional archery shooting an ELB 35 years ago and they are still my first love. Where did you get your yew stave from? US? UK?

Gotta love those character knots on that yew.Sweet bending stick there.

Thank you, I appreciate it! :)
I ll try to write a little more in the future, but its one thing to talk like this and an other to discuss technical details of bowmaking in a foreign language.

Its local yew, like most bowyers I use the stuff that is next to my doorstep. I was very lucky when I found this yew, its good qualtity and the former owner didnt want much money. Honestly said, I have never seen a bow from US or UK-yew build here in Germany, most bowyers use yew from the Alpes.
wow 74 lbs, wished I could pull a bow of that weight. :)

I have to admit I also have to practise a little more, I can shoot it a dozen times with 29", but then I need a break. The picture you see is with 26", taken after the shooting
